Welcome to our blog

Welcome to the blog for the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama's premiere production of Mother Maria by Ann-Marie Di Mambro directed by Andrew McGregor.  We start rehearsals this coming week and you will be able to follow the process of the creation of the piece with thoughts from the actors, playwright and director all on this blog.

Here are the five wonderful actors who will be performing in this 1930s-40s period piece based on the unbelievable life of Mother Maria (born Maria Skobtsova)

To find out more about this extraordinary woman then please have a look at her her wikipedia page here.  We have been working on the creation of this play for around 6 months and we are still finding out fascinating facts about Mother Maria and her family.

There is information about the playwright here and you can investigate the work of the director on his own website here.
